The Harvest
Every year there are more than 400,000 American children who are torn away from their friends, schools and homes to pick the food we all eat. Zulema, Perla and Victor labor as migrant farm workers, sacrificing their own childhoods to help their families survive. The Harvest profiles these three as they journey from the scorching heat of Texas' onion fields to the winter snows of the Michigan apple orchards and back south to the humidity of Florida's tomato fields to follow the harvest.
A sobering portrait of resilience and sacrifice that demands your attention. Follow three migrant children across America's harvest seasons and witness the invisible labor behind the food on your table—the kind of documentary that stays with you.
